[Dixielandjazz] Essentially Ellington

[Gary Kiser]

Y'all,

I regularly listen (over the internet) to WUCF 
<http://132.170.138.43:8080/ramgen/encoder/wucf.ra> out of Orlando.  On 
Mondays at 7pm (Orlando time), they run Jazz at Lincoln Center.  I enjoy 
this program beaucoup.

The announcements for tonights show claim they will be covering the 
annual Essentially Ellington Competition.  Here, musicians from the 
Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra write arrangements of Duke Ellington tunes 
and distribute them to high school jazz bands.  Then, the bands 'Duke' 
it out on stage.

If you want to here some good music played by high school students, 
listen in tonight.  The competition was last May so you will still hear 
Ed Bradley's voice.

Enjoy.

All the best, Gary
